Recently, PolarisIC's Wuhan R&D Center (hereinafter referred to as "PolarisIC") was honored as "Guanggu Gazelle Enterprise" and "Innovative Small and Medium-sized Enterprise" for the year of 2023. These honors not only recognize PolarisIC's outstanding contributions in sustained independent innovation, industry-leading core technologies and products, and excellent market performance, but also mark another important step on the road of scientific and technological innovation.

Gazelle enterprises are high-growth small and medium-sized enterprises supported by scientific and technological innovation that have crossed the "valley of death" of entrepreneurship, and they are like gazelles on the African grasslands: small in size, but with amazing running speed and bouncing power, and their explosive power can reach 10 times or even a hundred times. These enterprises are characterized by "specialization, refinement, specialization and newness", and their growth speed, technological content and industrial prospect are the three core indicators for the selection of "gazelle enterprises".

Innovative SMEs refer to enterprises with high specialization level, strong innovation ability and development potential, and are the foundation of quality SMEs.2022 In June 2012, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the Interim Measures for the Administration of Cultivation of High-Quality SMEs Gradient, which explicitly cultivates three levels of innovative SMEs, specialized, special-new SMEs, specialized, special-new and "small giants" enterprises, namely innovative SMEs, specialized, special-new SMEs, specialized, special-new and "small giants" enterprises. "There are three levels of high-quality SMEs, and the three levels are interconnected and constitute the gradient cultivation system. Enterprises through the innovative small and medium-sized enterprises recognized for the subsequent application of specialties and new small and medium-sized enterprises to lay a solid foundation.
